Chapter 167: The Battle of Le Chun (Part II)
Seeing the pain on the faces of the enemy cavalry, the Xiliang soldiers hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the spear was slightly bent by the flesh and had not yet been broken, and struggled to draw the spear. When the spear head was drawn, blood also spurted out of the wounds of the enemy cavalry.
After the two armies hedged, the cavalry fell from each other, but the cavalry of Han Sui's army accounted for the vast majority. The five hundred cavalry on each side sent by the horse play were disabled by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in one round, and the horse play army was exposed in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
At this time, Ma Yu had already taken advantage of this gap and began to flee, and Xiliang Tieqi rushed towards the Ma Yu Army from both sides. Before the nervous horse play could shout, the two Xiliang Iron Cavalry were inserted into the horse play army under the leadership of the two captains.
Originally, the horse play army had just left the city gate not far away, and at this time they fled, just as the city gate opened again, and the front army had already poured into the city gate one after another. The two Xiliang iron cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, killing the enemy and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, while quickly infiltrating, hundreds of cavalry immediately found themselves in the enemy formation, mixed with the enemy army, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me. The rest of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also followed closely behind the enemy, biting the enemy's rear army, and then rushed towards the open city gate.
Ma Yu was shocked, sweat flowing, and the Xiliang soldiers were clearly not only ambushing him, but also ready to take advantage of his defeat and retreat to attack Lechuan City. Once the Xiliang soldiers followed him into Lechuan City, then Lechuan City would fall! And at this time, the Xiliang soldiers mixed in the formation were only a few steps away from the city gate, and they were extremely fierce while waving their swords, cutting down the cavalry of the Han Sui army left and right, while instigating the war horses to follow closely, and the Xiliang soldiers were under the city, at the gate of the city!
And what about the defenders at the head of the city? Nothing was done, just a dumbfounded look at the city gates, which were constantly pouring in with enemy and enemy cavalry. Ma Yu shouted angrily: "A bunch of fools, the enemy army is about to enter the city, why don't you release the arrows quickly!" ”
A military marquis guarding the city poked his head out and said helplessly to the horse at the gate of the city: "General, I don't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, I am afraid of accidentally injuring my army's robes!" ”
The cavalry were terrified and rushed towards the city gate, and the horses were pushed and shoved by the horses behind, and they were forced to enter the city gate. Just before Ma Yu entered the city gate hole, Ma Yu shouted anxiously: "Don't worry so much, let go of the arrows, and never let the enemy enter the city!" ”
After speaking, the horse playing mount had been pushed into the city gate hole by the war horse behind.
The defenders were given accurate orders, and they hurriedly drew their bows and arrows. But when the defenders leaned out of the upper body of the city wall and wanted to shoot the Xiliang soldiers under the city, two shouts rang out from the city: "Shoot! ”
As soon as the words fell, many Xiliang soldiers who were in the rear army and also flocked to the city not far from the city pulled the hanging knives of the crossbow machine one after another. The "Xiu Xiu Xiu" arrows broke through the air loudly, and countless iron arrows shot from the bottom to the top of the city.
Instantly, the sound of "puff" sounded over the city, which was the sound of many defenders being shot by arrows. One upward shot will shoot the defenders to pieces, and the rest can only shrink under the city walls. Some of the defenders who had been shot to death fell weakly, smashing some of the hapless Han Sui cavalry off their horses.
At this time, no one could stop the attack of Xiliang Tie's cavalry penetrating into the city. Seeing that there was no movement in the city, the Xiliang soldiers were inspired, and while killing the enemy cavalry, they urged the war horses to squeeze into the city.
As soon as the horse play party entered the city, he immediately found two captains and said anxiously: "Quick, the enemy army is about to rush into the city, you two immediately order the troops to dismount and fight on foot, and meet them with bows and crossbows, and be sure to stop the Xiliang soldiers in the city gate hole and prevent the enemy from rushing in!" ”
The two captains looked embarrassed, and one said: "General, there are only 2,000 horsemen still alive under the Xiliang sword, I'm afraid I can't stop him......"
One of them said, "The soldiers are in a mess, and it is difficult to organize......
Ma played like thunder: "I don't care what happens to the two of you, if you can't stop the Xiliang soldiers from entering the city, I will cut off the heads of the two of you first!" ”
The two lieutenants had no choice but to retreat, and hurriedly stopped the cavalry who had fled in all directions after leaving the city gate, and ordered them to dismount and set up a formation and aim their bows and crossbows at the city gate.
At this time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was mixed with the cavalry of Han Sui's army and frantically killed in. Ma Yu scolded: "The enemy army has entered the city, why don't you release the arrows!" ”
The second lieutenant said: "Among them, there are also soldiers of our army, generals......"
"I don't want soldiers now, I want Leyun City now! Shoot the arrows! ”
Hundreds of crossbowmen released arrows one after another, and the cavalry of the two armies that were rushing out of the dark city gate hole were immediately shot on their backs, and the corpses were scattered, including those of Han Sui's army and those of Xiliang.
Seeing the corpses of more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers under the city gate, Ma Yu couldn't help but smile. But the horse couldn't laugh right away. The arrows like bees and locusts could not stop the Xiliang soldiers' rush to kill, and the Xiliang iron cavalry behind them stepped on the corpses and rushed forward quickly.
Ma Yu waved his hand again: "Release the arrow, release the arrow quickly!" ”
This time, the rain of arrows became a little sparse, and dozens of horsemen turned on their backs more than a dozen feet away, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
Looking back, it turned out that these crossbowmen were not skilled, some of them failed to shoot their arrows on time, some of them missed their arrows, and even worse, they couldn't pull the bowstring and couldn't use the crossbow machine!
Ma Play was disappointed, these people had not been forcibly recruited into the army for a few days, but they were just a little better than civilians with weapons. Although the bow and crossbow could stop the Xiliang soldiers at the city gate for a while, making it difficult for them to take a step beyond the thunder pool, how could the Xiliang soldiers be blocked by these weak brigades?
Soon, Xiliang soldiers used their actions to confirm the conjecture that the horse was not playing well. Seeing dozens of corpses of Xiliang soldiers lying on the ground, blood flowing, the rest of the Xiliang soldiers followed one after another, stepping on the corpses without hesitation, rushing quickly.
The rain of arrows became sparse again and again, and they couldn't shoot the Xiliang soldiers who poured out of the city gate in a steady stream. After three more rains of arrows, the Xiliang soldiers rushed into the crossbowmen. Because the crossbowmen had already dismounted and fought on foot, and they didn't know how to block the war horses in front, and only held bows and crossbows, the Xiliang soldiers stepped in, and countless crossbowmen were trampled to death by the war horses and killed, and hundreds of crossbowmen were soon wiped out.
Having lost his crossbow and crossbowman, the horse played and hurriedly looked left and right, and the rest of the cavalry had fled far away, and he had few soldiers. On the contrary, the Xiliang soldiers were fully spread, and the cavalry chasing him slashed and killed, barbaric and fierce. Looking at the battle situation on this side, the horse lost his mind.
A lieutenant pulled the hand of the horse and persuaded: "General, Lechuan City can no longer be defended, and it will fall sooner or later, so it is better to escape from another city gate quickly!" ”
Ma Yu was furious and said, "No, Leyun City can still be defended!" Our reinforcements are attacking Ma Dai's camp outside the city, and when Zhang Heng solves the main force of Ma Dai in the camp, he will definitely come to clean up these ambushes! ”
